Free Printable Nativity Worksheets for Kids
These free printable Nativity worksheets give children several ways to explore the birth of Jesus. A younger child can fill the circles on a letter page with a dot marker while an older sibling copies Scripture or draws a scene from the Christmas story.
If your children like to retell a story with their hands, pair the worksheets with my printable Nativity scene cutouts. For a quiet activity after the reading, choose one of the Nativity coloring pages.
You can print a single activity for Sunday school or work through the Advent study over several weeks.

What’s Included in the Nativity Worksheets
I designed this Christmas unit around the short readings, handwriting practice, and time for observation that I love about a Charlotte Mason lesson.
For a first lesson, try the letter C dot-marker page with the camels. Invite your child to say the letter aloud and fill each circle, then look for the camels in the Nativity story illustrations.

These are beautiful! I can’t wait to use them! Thank you so much! Could you tell me what the book is and the Mary doll and donkey in the 2nd picture? I would love to get a set too!
Thanks so much Ashlee! Unfortunately those items aren’t something I own personally. This is what’s known as a “photography mockup”. A digital layout designed to easily display digital items like my printables.
